A schredding (secure delete) function could probably be implemented but wouldn't be reliable on flash based targets where we do not have a software FTL.
In fact it wouldn't be possible on ATA targets either. The ATA 'disk' might actually be an SSD/ CF card (hardware FTL issue again). Even if it isn't, an ordinary hard disk (IDE or SCSI) also does internal sector remapping if problems are detected.
